Providing a clear interpretation of Hegel's characterizations of
possibility and actuality in the Science of Logic, this book
departs from the standard understandings of these concepts to break
new ground in Hegelian scholarship. The book draws out some of the
implications of Hegel's view of immanent possibility, especially as
it relates to Leibniz's thesis of modal optimism: his view that
this world is the best of all possible worlds. Reading Hegel as a
philosopher of possibility, against a tradition that has conceived
of him primarily as a philosopher of necessity, rationality, and
finitude, Nahum Brown demonstrates the historical background and
philosophical traditions from which Hegel's concept of possibility
emerges. Systematically outlining Hegel's conceptions of positive
and negative freedom, Brown reveals the Hegelian underpinnings of
our conception of reality and what it is to be in the world itself.
Original and convincing, this book is crucial for philosophers
approaching modality from any tradition.
